review: This has always been my fav Lennon solo album. It's an album you can still listen to 30+ years later. The mixes sparkle without the Spector reverb wash. There are no songs that name drop Yoko or confess some half delusional profound devotion to her either. Did I also mention the album also rocks. Critics sometimes don't give this album the credit it deserves. A note about the packaging... Who do you blame for this mess? Why would you change the cover from the quite recognizable soccer(artist approved)water color-to a photo from the LP's back cover. The printed cd label is a disaster too! It depicts 5 morphing head shots into a single John/Yoko from seperates. First of all, Yoko is not on this album-at all. Second, this graphic is from the Sometimes in NY LP label (the sister remix release to this album). Seems like someone wants to get their (her) hands in the details that they (she) were (was) shut out of 30 years ago. Do something for the fans and get the details right-(Yoko), reinstate the original LP cover-complete with the fold over flaps, put the morphing label on the album it belongs to and stop rewriting rock history! Thankfully, the mixes sound good.
